Do we buy now since prices for the trusts are cheap or how?

as for me....i would suggest buy based on the valuation of the countries/regions not just on the fund prices...and also what you needed to have a diversified portfolio.

will do. I just hit savings of 10k and I already have a fix deposit amounting to 30,000. so its time for me to look into unit trusts. Read fundsmart's tutorial and such. Kinda nervous as this is my first time investing

sorry.....have to repost this posting taken from Sui Jau's blog.....i just liked the way he wrote this....

"The most important advice I would give to anyone who hasn't started (be it man or woman) and is being held back is to starting investing now, but use a small amount. Something you are comfortable with even if you suffer losses. It can be as little as one thousand dollars because that is usually all you need to start investing into a unit trust. Then, as you invest, you will see how markets and such affect your returns and you will be able to learn from your experiences without suffering too much heartache compared to if you placed your entire life savings into the market and lose half of it in a market crash. The key thing is you have to accumulate investing experience. No amount of prior reading up and accumulating of knowledge can compare with actual investing experience which can only be built up by using your own money to invest. You have to experience the emotional pull that comes from market ups and downs and learn how to handle your emotions during those times. And learning from mistakes made is the greatest teacher. "

The key point

this guy nicely put it. Yeah fear is what is putting me off from doing this. Thank you. I will open up an account with fundsmart and grind up the exp.

Experiences that money cannot buy. I like the bold statements and experiencing it.

So it's temporary rebounce or Xmas/Year End window dressing? Or crude should stabilize at current price?

Lets take a ride... ruller custer.

Another great day for S&P 500. Up by > 2% to close at 2061.

Hey Guys, has anyone entered SenSEX?

Already started my exposure to Sensex via Manulife-India Equity. My target exposure is 25% of my equities exposure. I will underweight my M'sian equities exposure unless those that are EPF-MIS funds in which case I don't a choice. I love my Hwang-PRS for its global diversified exposure.

Take a look at REITs related unit trust fund... they are good defensive position to be in during this volatile times.

Why don't buy REITs directly?

25%?? woah..
i thought Asia Pac has a bigger upside? What's ur % in that?

Just started my account today and using my EPF which is 10k to start off with. Can someone advise me what to do now? I read so much but everything is just confusing. All I know is India sensex is a good place to start but I want to buy local UTs first
